[warped ginkgo]

there are different stalker projects

for multiplayer you can try xrMPE

[timber pawn]

dx10 avx doesnt run for me

dx10 does tho

[versed tusk]

what CPU do you have? its not supported with very old ones

[timber pawn]

ryzen 4000 7

bad for stalker ik

avx 11 runs tho

[vapid heath]

So whats the point of the parts repair kit? It seems you can replace any part in any gun with the appropriate repair kit for like 10x cheaper

[shadow sapphire]

Its for parts that you cant find above 60% (just unlucky) but you found one at 20%, it will repair that to full

Its so expensive to basically keep you having to look for good parts, but its there in case you just have crap luck effectively.

[vapid heath]

But I can buy a handgun/historic etc kit that does the same thing

and its a lot cheaper

[lyric steeple]

doesnt it have a bunch of charges? or am i completely miss remembering.

[shadow sapphire]

The hand gun restoration kit, will not let you clean or repair a part below 60%

[lyric steeple]

also, are gunsmith kits used for quests at all? or can I freely sell them?

[lyric steeple]

no, but you can just replace a bad part in the gun for a single charge

[shadow sapphire]

True, but you burn a charge of the kit, instead of using that charge to put an upgrade on the weapon.

[vapid heath]

I'm just using the maintain weapon function

i'm turning a bad part, less than 60% into a perfect one for a single charge of a kit thats only like 10 grand

Does it start becoming a less good idea when the kits get more expensive or something

[lyric steeple]

i def wouldnt do that with an advanced kit.

and maybe not with a rifle kit.

[vapid heath]

Are those more expensive than 50000?

cus this parts kit only has 4 uses and its like 50 grand lol

[lyric steeple]

to be fair, i dont buy kits.

i make them, because its SOOO much cheaper

[vapid heath]

yeah that as well

so why on earth, especially if I can just craft the repair kits

would I spend 50 grand to replace the parts when the maintain function does it

unless im really missing something here

[lyric steeple]

guess if you have more money but dont have the mats to make a specific repair kit.

not sure. you do you?

[vapid heath]

lol that would be the case if you couldnt just

buy the parts to make the kits directly from the repair trader

and it was cheaper still than buying the 50000 part kit

[lyric steeple]

not sure mate, pretty sure, like Larkin said, its cheaper to repair a >20% item with the repair kit than it is to use a charge of the weapon repair kit.

he's been a around a while and generally knows whats up.

[vapid heath]

Well from the kits I can see, it's definitely not cheaper

[lament yoke]

is there a way to save graphics settings so i dont have to change them back after every full update?

[lyric steeple]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

Effectively its an option for those emergency issues if you dont want to or cant craft the kit. A good example I guess would be If I get a Advanced Rifle gun, but I dont have an expert tool kit, I could use the parts cleaning kit to fix up the crappy parts.

[willow hawk]

You need to replace the parts to not jam

Part replacement is locked by toolkits

Cleaning kits are the way to go to maintain guns yes

But lube is good to avoid parts to wear too much and are very cheap compared to cleaning kits

Only apply cleaning kits on less than 70% parts imo

[vapid heath]

@shadow sapphire I can see it in that situation, still seems like a steep price for that particularly niche situation. I guess the best way to think about it is that it allows you to skip past the need for advanced toolkits and such if you really want to fix up a gun that needs one.

If thought about in that way, I guess the price makes sense

[shadow sapphire]

Yup it is a super steep price, because it allows you to do things you otherwise cant. Effectively it gives you an option to do something you normally wouldnt be able to, but the price encourages you to do it in a better way. Up to the player if the cost is worth the reward.

[vapid heath]

Yeah, makes sense.

KK ty larkin.

[shadow sapphire]

Anytime, its nice to answer questions from people who actually are interested, understand the systems, and when I say something they read and respond with thought and intelligence!

[loud glacier]

is there any way to use maid's icons but with default GAMMA ammo?

[heavy haven]

so i didnt play gamma for 2 days and i tried to load my save today and it crashed giving me this in logs 😦

[shadow sapphire]

What do you mean default gamma ammo?

[loud glacier]

when i use maids icon, it also changes the ammo icons

[shadow sapphire]

Any Red boxes in mo2?

[shadow sapphire]

Ok got it, there is no button or setting, but you can try asking in #🔨modded-gamma-support and someone might help you adjust the files.

[winged ether]

Is there any fix for NPCs shooting you through walls? It seems to happen much more than in vanilla Anomaly

[heavy haven]

well yeah smh

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

[north turret]

do limbs get damaged overtime if not healed up?

[heavy haven]

just clicked play and load last save today XD

uh so update files and full install ?

[shadow sapphire]

Did your mo2 ever say 329 mods?

[heavy haven]

yeah

[shadow sapphire]

Weird. Yeah do the full install.

[heavy haven]

alright thanks will probably give you heads up tomorrow when its done if i will still have issues

[split cape]

yo larkin that issue i had is all gone

thank you btw

and grok obviously

[winged ether]

version is 609 for me

[shadow sapphire]

Can you explain the context of the fight?

[winged ether]

ive had monolith in X19 shoot me through brick walls, and through buildings outside in Radar, I've had stalkers in the Arena shoot me through crates, all without line of sight

and some other times I forget the details of

[shadow sapphire]

2 things, 1 is the bullet actually going through the wall, and 2 are you aware that your character model extend above your view?

[winged ether]

I was well behind* the edge of the walls, the crate is questionable but I saw the bullets go clean through it. Maybe the crates are supposed to be penetratable but the other walls were solid

[willow hawk]

They shoot you at your last known position through cover and ammo can penetrate

You can do the same

[winged ether]

ok ty

[winged ether]

Do the scientists in Yanov pay extra for mutant parts and artifacts?

[shadow sapphire]

Art yes, mutant parts also yes, but less than butcher

[sturdy stone]

That's awesome, I honestly had no idea that penetration was a thing (keep jokes to a minimum pls). Is there info somewhere about how much/what types/etc?

[sturdy stone]

They do. Butcher still pays the most ime but I haven't done a straight comparison recently

[shadow sapphire]

I didnt either tbh.

[olive haven]

is there anomaly Hd addon armor for 1.5.2?

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[rocky halo]

I followed the steps to activate magazine redux but enemies magazines always seem to be empty is this a bug or intentional ?

[willow hawk]

The higher the pen, the more chance it has to pen

It’s based in engine and depends on material stats which are stored in map info, so that’s not really an easy information to get

[willow hawk]

Intentional

[rocky halo]

Thanks for the quick response! I was worried I had caused some sort of conflict somewhere.

[weary hearth]

yeah mags are supposed to be empty and only a few traders sell a number of them without "traders sell mags" also on

is this where I can ask whether AP or HP is better against Sin? I have no idea how their "barriers" work in terms of code

[lyric steeple]

i can just enable mags at anytime right? the game will be alright?

[weary hearth]

nope

has to be for a new game, and needs to be kept on throughout

[lyric steeple]

ah good to know, i thought i could just enable it. but then i couldnt really go back safely

[warped ginkgo]

yes

you can enable it mid playthrough

[weary hearth]

eh? I thought-

lemme just do the command

[warped ginkgo]

but not disable it mid playthrough

[weary hearth]

!mags

[raw raft]

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

1. Enable Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) (the mod under "Optional")
2. Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key (yes it's a mod, no it isn't a keybind)
3. Enable Ammo Check (this is a mod as well)
4. While in game, check your keybinds for reload and unjam
   Bonus) You can also enable Mags Buyable at Traders if you want, it's a mod already inside your mod list

KEEP IN MIND that once you enable Mags Redux, you can't disable it in your current save file. The only safe way to do so, is by loading a save where you don't have the mod enabled or by starting a new game WITHOUT Mags Redux.

[lyric steeple]

just just did that in #🤖bot-commands

[weary hearth]

ahh okay I misread, sorry!

I strongly suggest making a new save for a mags run anyway

[lyric steeple]

yeah, suddenly needing mags might be a bit rough.

can i do the clear sky quests (to clear the swamp) without being a member of clearsky?

[weary hearth]

pump shotguns and historical rifles (including sks) will be your friends during a mags run btw

[lyric steeple]

yeah

[coral holly]

What would happen if I turned off artefact condition?

[shadow sapphire]

How will you turn it off?

[lyric steeple]

you would not be able to use this channel for help 😛

[coral holly]

MCM

I'm not disabling it in MO2

[shadow sapphire]

Just to be clear the one with "DONT TOUCH" written in all caps? You want to change that setting?

[coral holly]

I'm only asking what would happen if I did not that I already have

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly it will destroy your game. Crashes, save probably gone.

[distant pumice]

so im assuming this isnt intentional but ive found 2 PDAs off of some bandits and when i try to view one it just disappears from my inv and nothing happens, no pda comes up. i use the second one and the previous one returns to my inv and again nothing happens.

any idea what causes this?

[coral holly]

I really like the way artifacts have been redone but I don't miss grinding for hours to get them fully repaired

[lyric steeple]

i have had this happen myself.

[distant pumice]

were you able to fix it?

[lyric steeple]

not sure what i did, it showed up back in my inv at somepoint.

[distant pumice]

hmm dang welp so much for some juicy bandit info or maybe complete garbage 😅

[shadow sapphire]

!version\

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and open version.txt

[distant pumice]

no ironman

[shadow sapphire]

Actually better yet send modlist please

[distant pumice]

sure just a sec

here ya go

[shadow sapphire]

and both NPCs were on same body>

both pdas were on the same body?*

[distant pumice]

nah i got them on 2 seperate bodys at 2 completely different spots

[shadow sapphire]

Search device in bottom right filter of mo2 and tell me which mod is supplying the items_devices.ltx please @distant pumice

[north turret]

is it possible to tone down mutant spawns a tad? im playing .25 mutant population and it still seems like im running into large groups of mutants alot.

[shadow sapphire]

describe large groups please

[distant pumice]

it says Wildkin's DAO Svarog patch

[shadow sapphire]

and now check pda and tell me the mod supplying pda.script

[north turret]

for example: i walk from rookie village to farm and i encounter 3 groups of dogs with either 6-8 dogs with 1 or 2 pseudo dogs and multiple groups of 3 zombies

[distant pumice]

G.A.M.M.A ZCP 1.4 Balanced Spawns

[shadow sapphire]

Please send you x_ray log and your modlist. If you dont know how go to #🤖bot-commands and type !crash and !modlist

[shadow sapphire]

When you mouse over the PDA does it highlight a slot, and do you have an option to "move to slot"

[willow hawk]

ZCP in MCM reduce the number of mutant squads variation

[distant pumice]

ill go check now

[shadow sapphire]

move to slot would be on right click

[distant pumice]

nope the option does not appear when right clicking and nothing highlights when mousing over it

[runic compass]

Whats the best way to find an expert crafting kit?

[north turret]

thank you! im walking around rn and defiantly less mutants

[shadow sapphire]

Hmm ok, I will test it some more, but I havent been able to get that to happen since the fix, nor had any other reports of it besides you. I believe you, but just isnt happening with me or others, so hard to fix if that makes sense.

[shadow sapphire]

Stashes north of Red forest or in Red Forest

[runic compass]

Any color stash or specifically green+?

[distant pumice]

makes sense, its not that big a deal for me really ill just scrap em for upgrade parts anyway so

[shadow sapphire]

Thanks! I do want to make 100 that I did fix it though

[distant pumice]

i gotcha, heh im just a magnet for something going screwy so im used to it 😅

[coral holly]

Does the scar artifact made discord ping noises? 🤣

[shadow sapphire]

I feel that!

[shadow sapphire]

Idk havent equipped it lol, but now I might

[shadow sapphire]

White or Green, no real difference in chance there other than green will have more items.

[coral holly]

10/10 I would recommend

It's brilliant

[winged ether]

I was leaving Radar after a particularly harrowing raid in the dead of night, no heals left only the scar, so I equipped it. My character immediately pulled out the PDA and started bumping some cheeki breeki music, literally head bobbing to it

So basically it's best-in-slot

[coral holly]

Yeah ive had that happen twice now

[willow hawk]

Wait until you throw a Grenada randomly

[latent bobcat]

soo ive been grinding in condor for like three irl days tryin to find a 5th Basic toolkit. ive just been doing , safari/mutent lair and rescues mainly in condor and sometimes garbage.

[winged ether]

I think you can find them in other zones too

[shadow sapphire]

No shitposting outside of #🎪bruh-fart please.

[shadow sapphire]

Have you just tried looking in stashes in garbage, agro, wild, ros, aw, or dv?

Thats the best way to get an advanced.

GAMMA is literally built to avoid you being able to farm in cordon to get good shit.

[winged ether]

What zones does the expert kit spawn in?

[shadow sapphire]

RF and north

[latent bobcat]

yeah iv been mainly doing quests that usually gives stash locations. ive attempted meadow and great swap but i still got low grade wepons i got a aks in my stash but i know i need and advanced tool kit for the craft army repair kit.

[shadow sapphire]

It can be rough sometimes, but honestly what guns do you have, and what armor?

[latent bobcat]

clear sky aroumr 100%, sks with pu 97%, ppsh 100%

cant remember the helmet

[shadow sapphire]

My man that is perfectly good gear for anything south of red forest, excluding dead city, and agro (agro only because you need a better mutant killer)

[latent bobcat]

fuck this game is sick preciate yall 👍

[mighty igloo]

which mod allows you to harvest mutants without pulling out your knife?

[lyric steeple]

do you mean "item usage animations" in settings > visual > player ?

i have that unchecked, and i dont pull my knife out to look mutants.

just have to have it on me.

[mighty igloo]

no, by default you have to switch to your knife to harvest a mutant in anomaly. In Gamma as long as you have a knife it allows harvesting, without switching

just curious what mod did that is all

[latent bobcat]

if i wipe out the most southern military camp will loaners inhabit the base ??

[brisk zinc]

No

The place is still run by militaries

After few days, you'll find them there again

[north turret]

I need some help with pc performance. I'm running a 2070 super and a ryzen 5 3600, 16gb of ram. So far, GAMMA is the only game that consistently makes my processor overheat and throttle really hard. I don't have any graphical performance problems, But I don't want my processor to burn up and break. Any settings I might be able to change to mitigate this?

[heavy haven]

how the hell does your cpu throttle on gamma ?

[lyric steeple]

drop down the resolution

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly is a single core CPU intensive game, it can happen

[north turret]

I'm running the resolution native to my monitor, any lower and it would look like ass

[heavy haven]

is it overclocked?

[north turret]

nah, when I built this thing I considered it but didnt think it would be necessary

[heavy haven]

hmm what is your temp when you play the game

[north turret]

shoots all the way up to 90

[heavy haven]

and its not going that hot with any other demanding games ?

[north turret]

not even with modern warfare 2019 at medium high settings

happens with tarkov though

[heavy haven]

you could try turning off shaders and then playing on very low but i would just buy a better cooler then

could also just clean out the current one apply new thermal paste and all that basic stuff if you dont do it often

[lyric steeple]

anyone else getting the shader compilation crash?

[heavy haven]

yyyy try deleting shader cache might help

[lyric steeple]

hrm, no change.

[heavy haven]

not gonna lie this is the moment Larkin takes over and totally fixes your issue xD

[lyric steeple]

Nope.

[nimble cargo]

Im having a driver error, can anyone read my crash log and tell me what is possibly causing this?

[icy solar]

329 should be normal?

[north turret]

this happened to me when I launched gamma for the first time. it limited me to sub 50 fps and doing anything chugged the fps really hard. all It took was a reset graphic options in the launcher

is there a way for me to use the old longer FDDA smoking a cig animation ?

there should be an optional option for that

Read what falco said

cpu will always struggle

Lower grass settings

And lower population

Does anyone know what the default FOV is? I changed mine by accident and I dont want to reset all my other settings by resetting to default

[warped ginkgo]

65-75 i think

[shadow sapphire]

80

that looks a lot better than 120 lol

[lyric steeple]

curious about the mags at traders mod, where can i read what that does?

[north turret]

that simply allows traders to sell magazines

[lyric steeple]

are they always selling mag, is it random, which mags?

[north turret]

that depends on the faction you're playing as, and what supply level you have

[lyric steeple]

ah, so they will sell WP or NATO at differing amounts based on my supply level?

and supply level is based on my rep with their faction right?

[north turret]

certain factions strictly sell WP or nato

[north turret]

this is correct

[lyric steeple]

you're a saint! thank you

last question. when starting a new play through, will you get any extra mags? or only what is in the guns you start with?

[gusty glen]

Im not enabling, just disable that one addon

Dont like that quick cig smoking animation

[terse sun]

I can't believe it my guys - against all the odds, I said "fck it, let's try it", set the FPS limiter to 58 (60hz monitor, left vsync disabled) and what do you know, all of my stutters are basically gone - maybe it helps someone too

knocking on the wood it stays this way lol

[shadow sapphire]

That enables a different animation.

[lofty bluff]

wtf is this

[shadow sapphire]

one of the jutants, looks like a chimera

[lofty bluff]

why no textures

Hmmm i've been trying to refill the artifact melter @minor star, and it's still at 9/10 uses

Practically melted 3 artefacts to no avail

[shadow sapphire]

I was 90% sure that was an issue, but since you were here I figured I would ask. Thank you

[shadow sapphire]

How are you melting them?

[gritty minnow]

Dragging it over the artefact

[minor star]

Hold on

[shadow sapphire]

And holding ALT?

[minor star]

What are you trying to do exactly?

Empowering artefacts?

[shadow sapphire]

Hes trying to charge it up

[gritty minnow]

Yes sadly @shadow sapphire

[shadow sapphire]

But I dont know if he can, if there is only 1 single use missing.

[gritty minnow]

Does the artefact have to be full condition?

[graceful iron]

no

[minor star]

No

[graceful iron]

close the inventory and open it again, then see if the uses changed to 10

the UI could be bugged

[shadow sapphire]

Works fine for me at 9/10 drag it over let go boom charge

[graceful iron]

also, you dont really need it at 10 uses for any reason

empowering takes 1 use and most recipes take 2-4 charges

[gritty minnow]

Sadly for me 9/10 still, wasted around 4 artefacts already

Eh if it really doesn't work I can always just buy a new one xD

[buoyant stump]

is there a find strelok questline for mercs?

or different

[gritty minnow]

There is

Relatively the same so far in my merc playthrough

[mighty igloo]

What does the M key do by default. It makes a sound when I click it but nothing seems to happen?

[gritty minnow]

Night vision on scopes

[mighty igloo]

any way to unbind?

I like it for my PDA because I am weird

[gritty minnow]

I think there is a way but you'd have to go to the config files for the mod itself

I believe either @shadow sapphire or @graceful iron mentioned it before to me

[shadow sapphire]

Its for turning on scope night visions, should be in MCM controls

[graceful iron]

i believe grok added it recently to the mcm

if not, you can go to mo2 > gamma keybinds fixes > open in explorer > gamedata > scripts > bas nvg scopes

[acoustic timber]

hi there,

I got back into GAMMA and am updated. however my save is from a long time ago Im talking before furniture was added.

Will the save have a lot of issues and should I start a new one? I grew suspicious when I loaded in and died to an emission that wasnt there when I saved

[graceful iron]

there shouldnt be any issues with the save

[sly moss]

what price is sakharov supposed to be buying artifacts at? i sold him a base price 109k ruble lobster eyes at 98% for 29k...

[acoustic timber]

I am having stutters as well? I am using coer zero with i7 and 3060 so it seems odd this happens

like its worse than before

I have also enabled the 'enable this if u have stutters'

[graceful iron]

you have the default gamma modlist ?

did you change any settings ?

[acoustic timber]

not graphics, jsut controls

[acoustic timber]

Ill try using the default mods i enable optional UI font and mutant bleeding

[graceful iron]

mutant bleeding is in the disabled separator of the modlist

[shadow sapphire]

On stalkers wearing them, provided you are far enough in progression

[ivory comet]

thanks sorry im lazy XD ill go check it out now

[shadow sapphire]

Lol no worries, I just didn't honestly remember

[lyric steeple]

question for you mags Redux users. what do you use for your specific hotkeys?

[gritty minnow]

Thank you @shadow sapphire !

Also for some reason there are still some loners that attack me despite being on friendly terms with them as a merc after removing the brain scorcher

I don't have negative relations with them, am I doing something wrong?

[shadow sapphire]

Did you kill some loners at one point?

[candid talon]

I was trying to travel from army warehouses to truck cemetery and when I arrive at the travel point on the map, my screen gets dark for a couple of seconds but I remained at the same location without being transported. is this a feature of the game?

[lyric steeple]

last time this happened. did a quick save, and reloaded. and it all worked again.

something do with with the xray engine.

[candid talon]

thanks will try it out

[shadow sapphire]

Not a feature

[dull surge]

Just curious, there is any plan on nerfing snork's ability to nearly cripple both of the leg with single attack, ignoring the fact whatever we are wearing exo or not, the attack animation and body animation is mismatched (as in their back on you and swinging away nowhere close or 180 away to you, still damaging you somehow)

[lyric steeple]

sounds like a skill issue 😛

[shadow sapphire]

I haven't had this issue...

[gritty minnow]

A lot actually

Wiped out whole of cordon xD

[lyric steeple]

should i be uppgrading reshade?

[lyric steeple]

going to guess that might be the issue.

[shadow sapphire]

You gotta pay a weirgyild then. Go see barkeep sid or someone similar

[brisk zinc]

If you want to, it will be updated by Grok sooner or later, it's not necessary

[dull surge]

no change in mod, its all vanilla

[shadow sapphire]

I swear I'm going to add this to the command: That's awesome. A - I use it for more than just seeing if it's vanilla B - everyone says that and honestly alot of them are lying.

[dull surge]

huh alright

[lyric steeple]

my god, what the hell does mouse button 5 do?!?!

and where do i make it stop?!?!

[dull surge]

the free zoom?

[lyric steeple]

it looks like it screws up my FOV

thats mouse 4

[shadow sapphire]

Are you talking about freelook then?

Because freelook is mouse 4, freezoom is mouse 5 by default

[lyric steeple]

AH ok.

[shadow sapphire]

And if it's the free zoom. It zooms you in. Nice feature for ironsights or red dots

[lyric steeple]

im trying to find a place to put unjam, and im starting to be annoyed then.

yeah ok

[shadow sapphire]

Z isn't a bad spot

[lyric steeple]

ok, where do i find the freezoom setting, because i think its broken now.

it doesnt UNzoom

[graceful iron]

z is attach/remove patch in the mcm

[graceful iron]

check your fov

[lyric steeple]

yes, it keeps changing the FOV, but doesnt put it back?

[shadow sapphire]

I forgot about that key. shrugs

[lyric steeple]

i unselected it, dislike that key anyway.

[uneven ocean]

Will the settings I have in the Anomaly Launcher be set if I just run the EXE for DX11?

[graceful iron]

yes, but you need to run the anomaly launcher with those settings first, once in the main menu close it and then run the dx11 exe

[uneven ocean]

oh okay cool I've been launching the launcher everytime lately and it takes a second to be able to press play so it was getting annoying lol

Can I turn my guns flashlight on?

[sturdy stone]

Currently they are just eye candy

[uneven ocean]

ah okay

[sturdy stone]

Iirc there’s work being done on that tho, which would be amazing

[lyric steeple]

for the record... HOLY SHITBALLS HARD + SURVIVAL IS HARD!!

that is all

[deft escarp]

Is there a recommended difficulty level for GAMMA? Admittedly I'm still only in Cordon but I've got it on normal/scavenger and it's very easy so far, at least compared to EFP where even a dirt poor bandit with a pistol can wreck you.

[shadow sapphire]

Yes gamma is balanced on hard survivalist.

And trust me a bandit with a pistol can wreck you.

[deft escarp]

Is it really balanced for hard/surv? You're not just screwing with me?

Because if it is then I'll restart on hard/surv

[shadow sapphire]

It really is.

[deft escarp]

Alrighty then. I thought it felt too easy.

[shadow sapphire]

Just be aware, it's not all about humans in gamma. Mutants... well you'll find out.

[deft escarp]

I'll get a semi-auto shotgun. It's THEM that'll find out.

[shadow sapphire]

Good luck with that.

[deft escarp]

It's bad is it? My first time playing GAMMA, I don't know.

[shadow sapphire]

Fractures are as fast as the cars in dark scape. And have more health than a boar.

And come in packs

[heavy haven]

and there is one variant of chimera that took me 85 bullets of hp ammo from my ak to go through xD

[magic rivet]

is there any mod for inventory management? Like I mean is there a mod for cases/boxes like in tarkov where I can just put ammo in ammo box, meds in meds case, etc. so my inventory seems a little less chaotic

[deft escarp]

Y'all are getting me excited. I must play right now.

[magic rivet]

hardcore stuff absolutely great modpack

[heavy haven]

also i am crashing still larkin XD

[magic rivet]

expect some good suffering

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah hideout furniture it's in the pack make a box

[heavy haven]

but i got 329 mods now

[deft escarp]

Such is life in the Zone

[heavy haven]

and only 1 red x in mod organiser XD

[shadow sapphire]

Watch out for the jumping pseudo giants

[magic rivet]

i can use it in my inv ig?

[magic rivet]

bro what

never seen them

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah. And place them as stashes

[shadow sapphire]

Which mod is red

[sturdy stone]

You gotta turn them on iirc

[magic rivet]

scariest thing is probablt fucking chimera jumping like L4D2 hunter

[shadow sapphire]

Nope default

[heavy haven]

oh there is 2 apprently gardener of the zone and skies redux

[shadow sapphire]

That's concerning

Are they both enabled?

[heavy haven]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

Ok screenshot please

[sturdy stone]

Oh mb I thought it was one of the disabled variants like the psy zombies or whatever

[soft cloak]

best way to get past flame comet?

[sturdy stone]

In tunnel?

[soft cloak]

yeah

[heavy haven]

if you mean wild territory its the middle

by the pillars

[sturdy stone]

Middle

[shadow sapphire]

Nevermind. Your error states your folders are courrupted

[heavy haven]

F

how do i fix

[shadow sapphire]

Oh you meant the pseudo not the boxes XD my bad

[sturdy stone]

Imagine the complaints if one of those showed up in cordon regularly for new players

[shadow sapphire]

Remind me what you did last

[heavy haven]

updated gamma files and did the full install

[shadow sapphire]

I mean pseudos already do its not that mutch worse

[shadow sapphire]

Your on satellite if I remember right?

[heavy haven]

Umm satellite ? XD

[shadow sapphire]

Internet

Do you have good internet?*

[heavy haven]

100mbit/s download so like 16MB/s usually

[shadow sapphire]

Kk

What region?

[heavy haven]

Eu/Poland/Silesia

[deft escarp]

I can't find anywhere that says it's balanced for hard. Are you 100% certain? I don't want to make it outrageously hard when it shouldn't be.

[shadow sapphire]

Ok. Here's what to do, you'd honestly need to do a full install anyway because of the patch today. Nuke the whole thing. Keep your saves if you want but everything else delete. Re extract anomaly re extract gamma patch to 152 launch anomaly close it full install of gamma. One of your two folder is toast. And I bet it's gamma from the error

[shadow sapphire]

XD yeah I think I might know a tiny bit about the balance.

[heavy haven]

I was going to say i think a moderator on the official discord server of the mod knows a tiny bit more then we do XD

[shadow sapphire]

More funny if he looks at #📢announcements

[heavy haven]

so just pretty much delete everything and reinstall all of it again ? XD gotcha

[deft escarp]

I use Discord so little I didn't even know red meant moderator lol. I just thought people could pick their colours or something.

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah sadly. Normally I'd be like let's try this. But with a directory corrupted error fastest fix is literally dump it all

[heavy haven]

Boi am i glad i redownloaded anomaly with patch just incase yesterday xD

[shadow sapphire]

No worries. I do encourage you to read #│📚manual it's also available in game on your pda. If you haven't yet. This is very different from efp. Harder in some ways. Easier in others. We have a lot of QoL stuff to make the micromanging go away. But other stuff is more difficult

[deft escarp]

I think I'll read it now.

[shadow sapphire]

Me too! I'm honestly surprised when you said still crashing I figured that it was the red x mod and would be quick fix

[heavy haven]

Yeah the fact that you have to fix and scavange and craft everything sounded annoying before i played but after i figured out the more advanced stuff i was in heaven so much more fun this way and everything feels rewarding

well unless you fight exo military in machine yard as clear sky kill them and they dont drop their exos but we dont talk about that xD

Also there was like an armor spreedsheet somewhere on this discord but i kinda cant find it? anyone got a link?

[shadow sapphire]

[willow hawk]

Hard surv is the legit difficulty

The others are made easier

I’m not recommending hard surv if you just started

Meanwhile when you know the drill, you can play easily in hard surv, it’s a matter of knowledge and skill

[deft escarp]

I just started GAMMA but I've been playing Anomaly and EFP for over a year so I'll go with hard. You make great mods btw dude, been using yours since before I even knew GAMMA existed.

[shadow sapphire]

Hahaha thanks!

[river forge]

Any way to set a default setting for new saves?

Like a default name and difficulties

[magic rivet]

Mags system in EFP made me bonkers

[shadow sapphire]

User.ltx

[heavy haven]

so turns out that the gamma folder is corrupted but now windows is not letting me delete it xD

[shadow sapphire]

Oh that's fun.

[shadow sapphire]

https://computingforgeeks.com/force-delete-file-folder-in-windows-system/

[heavy haven]

XD

[shadow sapphire]

That link is a couple work around for your problem

[heavy haven]

alright thanks i will just throw them into a pits of a deep folder somewhere if i wont be able to delete it will be gone with new pc or fresh format xD

also i never meet Unsig and i kinda wanted some of their guns? where do they spawn usually ?

[north turret]

@willow hawk What does the GAMMA ALife fixes addon do exactly?

[magic rivet]

9x19 AP is pretty good in endgame yay or nay?

Like against exo and high tier armor lads

[gritty minnow]

How much was the armor pen again @magic rivet ?

[magic rivet]

Like 40 afaik

Pretty decent

[gritty minnow]

Yep yep it's decent

[magic rivet]

Great

Really wanna give vityaz or mp5sd a run

[lime ibex]

Im too scared to go to the north
Wat do

[mystic finch]

make sure you have at least heavy armour and a heavy helmet if you can you might be able to get passed red forest without a lot of protection if you are lucky but any further than red forest you will get shredded by the first monolith you encounter

[lime ibex]

I have nearly maxed out CS assault armor and M50z helm

And AK105 Alpha (not alfa), and an AK12 Monolith

Is that enough

And a shotgun

And a mosin

And a deagle

[mystic finch]

check what kit your armour repairs with if it's heavy you may do ok

[lime ibex]

Yea

I also have the dooty veteran battlesuit

More rupture and impact res but lower everything else

[mystic finch]

I have an exo helm and a merc grass land exo suit it's a step above heavy armour

[magic rivet]

More than enough, just beware of controllers and other fucks, as well as your hostile factions, monolith and sin like this place. Red Forest is like a minefield, littered with anomalies who will turn you in a red paste

[graceful iron]

p! warn @north turret dont ping grok everytime you feel like asking a question on the server. if you have a question just put it here and wait for someone to answer it. you can also search since a lot of questions have been asked and answered before

[native gust]

@north turret has been warned.

[north turret]

alright

you got my message?

[willow hawk]

Hehehe have fun with the full package then 🙂

[willow hawk]

Removes a rare crash

[north turret]

aha

which crash exactly?

[willow hawk]

also, you can diff files easily with this: https://text-compare.com/

[mystic finch]

I would recommend running through red forest if you don't have any stash points there as it's quite a dangerous area filled with anomalies,monolith,sin,mutants and various other factions

[willow hawk]

and artefacts and money in the form of rare mutant parts

Red forest is my home

[mystic finch]

it was filled with sin they aren't fun can shrug off ap rounds to the face

[willow hawk]

yup

[mystic finch]

and there were far too many of them as well

[willow hawk]

use grenades 😉

or high ROF low recoil FMJ or HP rounds

[heavy haven]

i was gonna say he wont have heavy armor at all before he gets past red forest xD

[mystic finch]

this isn't true advanced toolkit lets you craft a heavy armour kit

[heavy haven]

wait whattt

[mystic finch]

somewhat expensive though

[heavy haven]

is it the one that requires loads of medium repair kits ?

[mystic finch]

yep

[heavy haven]

Ahhh i thought both of them required expert tools do didnt bother xD

went through red forest with medium armor and ssp99 helmet

[minor bone]

is there anyway to revert to the older UI without messing the game up?

[mystic finch]

guess you got lucky with spawns then first time I went through there it was hell

[heavy haven]

it was hell the amount of quicksaves and deaths was not fun

i think it was 3 master sin bois and couple of veterans plus 2 squads of mono 😦

ey i wont make that mistake again XD

[mystic finch]

I had nothing but sin and far too many of them ended up giving up and skirting around the outside edge

[heavy haven]

so i read somewhere that after you turn of brain scorcher and miracle machine in anomaly mercs and loners become friendly to each other is it still the case ?

[magic rivet]

btw I am a bit clueless, already defeated Chernobog and his sin army, but wondered, it felt like sin had some sort of natural armor, because it felt like they had larger health pool than any other faction, especially chest shots were kinda weak against them. Does sin have any ballistic resistance artifacts or smth?

[heavy haven]

they do

[magic rivet]

Psoglav mentioned some sort of "silver lining"

[heavy haven]

the effect when you shoot them is like anomalous protection going off

well at least i assume they do

[magic rivet]

Oh I see now

[mystic finch]

they have the protection of the zone

[magic rivet]

Whenever I shot them, ripples appeared on their body

[graceful iron]

they have a base 85% damage reduction

aim for the head/neck and use high damage weapons

[mystic finch]

yeah assault rifle ap certainly didn't work that well for me

[heavy haven]

dont want to spoiler the story but its related to them doing some things like the labcoats at chernobyl

it took me around 70 or so ap ammo to the head for me to kill them from the custom ak that beard produces

[graceful iron]

what do you mean? sin having the damage reduction is only a gamma thing, not anomaly or original stalker

[heavy haven]

Well yeah but anomaly never did the thing

and orignal stalker had no sin XD

at least i dont remember them in game

[mystic finch]

they have somewhat damage reduction in anomaly it just isn't high

[graceful iron]

oh really? why did they drop just like everyone else in the same amount of shots ?

[magic rivet]

AP slugs and SVD did the trick

[heavy haven]

because anomaly never went to extreme with their connection to nosphere

[magic rivet]

Nice addition tho

Makes sin a bit more menacing

[heavy haven]

sin is literally the space marines of cherno now

[mystic finch]

because ap rounds in anomaly overkill targets they do enough damage to negate the tiny damage reduction sin have

[rustic dome]

is there any way to set the artifact condition to higher? just done my rookie quest in cordon and this jellyfish is 30% condition and cannot be traded... wtf?

[heavy haven]

get the artifact melter from sakharov

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual artefacts reinvention

[heavy haven]

combine two artifacts to empower 1

[rustic dome]

i just started my game and wanted to sell the artifact ffs

[heavy haven]

also if you want to sell stuff cheaper at lower condition set trader buy condition to 1

makes everything for sale at lower conditions on all traders but it also lowers the price usually

so that jelly fish will be like 800 rubles

or smtn

[mystic finch]

gamma isn't as simple as stalker vanilla you need to work for your artis

[heavy haven]

it pays of really well though

if you get the rare artifacts for shakrov you get good money

and usually you can melt the cheap non radious artifacts into the good ones

[rustic dome]

this isnt making it "super hardcore baddas experience ™ " but its just not really lore friendly and its just kinda dumb, i mean.. artifact durability.. lol

[rustic dome]

thanks

[rustic dome]

i always disliked anomaly artifact system, original games just do it so much better

[heavy haven]

its all for the balance its rather easy to just stack easy to get artifacts and become a tank

or usain bolt for that matter

well you still can but now you have to manage the artifacts

[graceful iron]

the "durability" doesnt go down, you just need to empower the artefact to 98% and you can just keep using it or sell it

the anomaly artefact system works the exact same as the original stalkers

[rustic dome]

but i dont like the fact that found artifacts have durability, like the jellyfish in the cordon has ~30%

[graceful iron]

ok

feel free to edit the artefact drop condition in the artefacts reinvention addon

but it will make the game too easy

[rustic dome]

its says not to touch it

so idk

[graceful iron]

not the mcm

artefacts reinvention

[rustic dome]

artifacts are very hard to find anyways, i mean there arent many anomaly fields and only few of them have artifacts, also many artifacts sell at dogfood price anyways

[rustic dome]

yeah and what do i do in the mod manager?

[graceful iron]

grok reworked the entire system, this isnt vanilla anomaly

you will be drowning in artefacts

artefacts spawn in anomaly fields and near dynamic anomalies every x minutes and after emissions

artefact and container weights have been reduced to nothing

[rustic dome]

hmm alright

if you say so

i will leave it like it is for now

[graceful iron]

artefacts are more powerful and sell for more than vanilla

[north turret]

Heyo! Great modpack, is it possible to male vendors sell 1/2 weapons only? Like 2 pistols and 2 rifles or smth. I think its more realistic (to me) ig they sell a low fare of guns (its the Zone after all). How do i do it? Have the trade destockifier active?

[rustic dome]

tbh it would be a cool idea to implement like some dynamic weapon smugglers

i know it would be hard to implement but hear me out

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm... Why is it sometimes i run fast and sometimes I don't despite having full hp?

[rustic dome]

an arm dealer spawns randomly in one of few locations for a limited time, he has a squad of bodyguards, he would sell for example 10 akm's with different condition ranging from 60 to 90% and you could either kill him and his bodyguards to take some loot or he will disappear after 1 or 2 in game days

[graceful iron]

your carried weight and the weapon you are holding affect your movement speed, and so does the suit you are wearing

[graceful iron]

this isnt the channel to provide feedback but no, weapon selling was removed and its not going to be added into gamma

you can add it back yourself

!vanilla

[raw raft]

If you want to be able to buy and sell guns/armors again: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

you can disable the gamma economy and then use destockifier and tweak it in the mcm

dont use multiple channels for your question please

[north turret]

Is there a limit for taken RF packages? I have some of them and have not opened yet.

I don't know if it is working normaly.

[compact birch]

if the notifications aren't coming in anymore.... hasn't happened to me on gamma yet, but same mod efp basically they stopped cold after a while, all packages opened

[carmine wyvern]

1 at a time

oh, misread the question

you can farm them i guess, you will get a new location with the picking up of a package

[north turret]

I don't have a new location. The last one took so much time to give the location. If i had the message should spam in ever level transition, right?

[compact birch]

sorta, i think it's tied to a rep gain or turn ins? something like that

[carmine wyvern]

yea

then you need to open the package for a new location

sometimes it takes a while for a new message to appear tho

[median gazelle]

my game stutters a lot and was gonna enable this. can someone tell me what does it do exactly ?

[north turret]

I think i found the answer.

[compact birch]

it does something to the spawns iirc, changes something about the way the alife timer works or some such, basically i think it checks it less

[magic rivet]

How do you repair artifacts? Some seem to have low efficiency

Melted some artifacts but idk.how to apply it

[north turret]

Use Artefact Smelter.

It have two uses. One to Empower and other to fuse.

Empower use two same artefacts to gain power.

[magic rivet]

When I click empower I don't get ab option to empower others

Empty screen

[carmine wyvern]

its recipe dependant

[north turret]

They have to be out of the containers.

[carmine wyvern]

artifact x and y create z

you need to look up the recipes

[magic rivet]

Yea I don't contain Heart of Oasis in a container

[carmine wyvern]

[north turret]

Doesn't look like this?

[compact birch]

i only barely fooled with it, it seems the non radioactive things can empower each other, the others seem to need another exact sort of artefact, so you would need 2 hearts im gonna guess

[magic rivet]

Nope

[magic rivet]

Does not let me

[north turret]

Do you have other artefacts that are not contained?

[magic rivet]

I melted all they should be in the melter itseld

[carmine wyvern]

you need very specific Artifacts for Heart of the Oasis

[magic rivet]

Oh aite

A bit confusing at first but I get it

Cheers

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual artefacts reinvention. you need the same artefact to be in your inventory to empower one of them

you drag the melter onto artefacts YOU DONT NEED to charge the melter

[magic rivet]

Yea I understand now how exactly I screwed up

[mystic finch]

Should we have Banger's silencers icons fix in our mod list if we full install?

[willow hawk]

no, the modifications are in the dev branch only, because untested

basically, since I cannot test everything, I now push changes to the dev branch people don't have access to, then test everything in one go before merging dev and main branch (that is pulled by the installer)

read #📢development pinned message

[mystic finch]

I was confused because I could still see updates this has gone for me now its changed to development I see now

[manic parrot]

Hello sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I’m using the mags redux mod but I’m wonder if the magazines from the hood can be removed or a least made more opaque? If there is I’m think I’m missing a setting somewhere Thanks

[buoyant stump]

prob dumb question but can you have 2 saves going on at the same time?

[versed tusk]

mcm > magazines > hud

[versed tusk]

you can, just make sure you hardsave with proper naming

[manic parrot]

Amazing that you. I missed the sub sections haha 😆

[mystic finch]

Yes you can it will name your quick saves as the character name that you are currently playing any manual saves you do though will need to be named by you so name it after your character

[willow hawk]

yes

main issue is that github doesn't allow tracking of branches modifications with webhooks, only the push events repository-wide 😢

[crude oyster]

is this normal? i was wondering why my groza was kicking so hard even with 7.62x39 and i noticed it has over double the recoil strength over the AKM. i did recoil reduction upgrades too, did i accidentally a stack underflow?? lol

[mystic finch]

I see where I can check changes now you have put a helpful details link in announcements I will check for this from now on

[willow hawk]

yes updates are now announced with actual changes in #📢announcements all the time

[mystic finch]

Yes I meant I need to know what files have been changed though I use a few simple mods from other people I edit to work with gamma as well as some edits I have done to some gamma files in my custom load orders I need to update these if anything changes

[willow hawk]

[mystic finch]

@willow hawk Sorry it took a while but I just tested the scar solution you gave me and it worked like a charm. Spawned him in quest immediately updated saved reloaded. Talked to him killed the dogs talked to him again and now my quest has advanced. I suspect scar may have been killed by a psystorm or an emmission due to the npcs really die in emmisions mod as I'm pretty sure the area where scar is has no surge protection nearby. You may want to check this anyway thank you very much for the help

[bold fulcrum]

disabling sleep parallax makes my game super dark

sleep parallax is on here

[willow hawk]

Thanks ! did you only spawn scar or also the other two squads ?

[mystic finch]

No I only needed to spawn scar the pseudo dogs spawned by themselves

[willow hawk]

Ok, will make a tag then

[mystic finch]

cool glad to be of help

[rustic dome]

how to turn off saving only at campfires? i want normal quicksave

[versed tusk]

mcm > yacs

[zinc scarab]

I've noticed that I can skin boars and anything I've encountered (nothing like chimeras yet) with the basic bayonet knife, shouldnt I be required to use the hunting knife for some of these mutants?

[willow hawk]

no

boars are everywhere

it was always dumb to not be able to skin them

[zinc scarab]

sorta makes sense thanks, so its likely that I just havent seen any of the mutants that require it yet

[willow hawk]

chimera and pseudogiants require a better knife iirc

[warm sand]

Would a proper update delete or mess with a profile in MO?

[willow hawk]

it only changes the gamma MO2 profile

[warm sand]

Ok thank you

[mystic wind]

im having a lot of random crashes. is it a good idea to try to reinstall all of the mods using mo2?i looked at crash log and its saying i missing alot of stuff

like manually right clicking all 329 mods and reinstalling them .

[versed tusk]

post your log here and let people check who know more than you?

sounds like a better idea to me

[mystic wind]

hahah ok man im new to pc and im clueless about moding . thank you !

[versed tusk]

just pulling your leg, no worries

I'm sure we can figure it out

[warm sand]

Wtf is EAX, tried searching the server but didn't see anything, seems like just surround sound?

[frank robin]

It seems like this has happened with others before, but my game sometimes randomly crashes when trying to save. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the few mods I added on top of Gamma.

[mystic wind]

EAX is in your sounds setting in the environment tab

is that my issue ?

[versed tusk]

I have not seen such a log in a while this will need someone with more skill than me

but to get the basics out of the way

!questions

[raw raft]

Please, answer these questions, help us to better understand your problem.

YOUR MOD LIST MUST BE VANILLA. Any other mod added by you or that isn't enabled by default is considered as a "modded mod list" and you should ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support.

1. GAMMA doesn't work anymore with Anomaly 1.5.1, have you updated to 1.5.2? (if you didn't, go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !152)
2. Using Windows 7 or Windows 11 instead of Windows 10? Go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !windows7 or !windows11
3. Where do you keep Anomaly and GAMMA? We need the full path of these two folders.

[willow hawk]

there's no crash here. Random crashes are usually due to your antivirus not liking MO2 virtual file system

[willow hawk]

what's the crash log saying

[willow hawk]

You have an updated version of gamma running on 1.5.2 right ? Try playing without the custom addons and moficiations you have and see if it bugs again

[brazen canyon]

Does Gamma have the mod where you can craft improved mutant hides?

[rustic dome]

is the PDA tracking mod implemented in gamma? if not, will it cause any issues if i download it?

[compact birch]

you mean the deal where you see kills and friendly squads on the pda?

[willow hawk]

no, mutant hides will be reworked at some point, most likely post 1.0, with an entirely new system

[willow hawk]

no it's not, it should work, just try

[brazen canyon]

Alright thanks, hunting mutants have been very fun in GAMMA with the Hunters' Kit and so on. Looking forward to that eventually then!

[rustic dome]

no, i mean this one https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-151-track-stalkers-using-their-name-v10

[rustic dome]

alright thanks, i will try it out, it should work. its not a big mod but yet it looks like an awesome one, adding immersion and can turn you into hunting mode just like clear sky chase of strelok's pda

[worldly basin]

I have my scientific exoskeleton upgraded to allow for sprinting, but I'm still not able to. Is there a bug i'm not aware of?

[willow hawk]

Abusable in so many ways that’s why I’m not a fan of it

[worldly basin]

Nevermind, reloading the save seems to have fixed it. o.o weird

[lime ibex]

Are there any other major quest hubs besides rostok, with 2 "big" quest givers and 1 "small"

[versed tusk]

every faction HQ is a quest hub

but your Main Story is given by the leader of your faction

to begin with at least

[lime ibex]

I know

But are there any with 3 quest givers

discounting normal stalkers

[versed tusk]

CS base has Spore, Cold and the bartender - 3
Rostock has the Leader, the Barkeep and the trader - 3
AW has only 2 iirc
not sure about Dead City and DV

[heavy haven]

is it still the case that quicksaves slowly corrupt your game ? XD

[versed tusk]

no?

unless you have some bugs like busy hands

[winged ether]

My UI stopped showing status effects and psy health. Reloading my save didnt fix it like it normally does. What should I do?

[versed tusk]

those will absolutely dump your saves if you dont realize it

[versed tusk]

press numpad enter as you deactivated your hud

[winged ether]

Awesome ty!

[pure frigate]

So been started new game with survival game mode
but since u are not able to buy armors whats the way to get them?

[versed tusk]

by looting/repairing

[pure frigate]

so zombies are dropping eventually?

[versed tusk]

1 HP or Hydra to the head

[willow hawk]

Or 1 buckshot

Or 1 slug

Or 1 20x70 buckshot

[versed tusk]

[willow hawk]

Or 1 23x75 buckshot

Or 1 axe hit

Aka read ammo flesh damage before use

[winged ether]

I just approached concrete baths in Jupiter and it's extremely irradiated. Is the whole factory in the lower right like that as well?

[versed tusk]

time to get a good helmet and upgrades for Rad res

[rustic dome]

what is the keybind to tp companion?

[versed tusk]

J is default as seen in #│💻keybinds-in-gamma
but you need to activate the addon first in MO2

[mystic finch]

Ashot in yanov base seems to have vanished if I spawned him back in via his code would he be a proper trader?

[plush nova]

Regarding the latest update (and Full Install updates in general), is it best practice to 'delete shader cache'? Also, do these types of updates get enabled automatically via MO2 or wherever they're installed?

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and open version.txt

[shadow sapphire]

No need unless there is an issue on shader cache, also you have to run the gamma installer as admin update gamma data full gamma install and then the update is applied

[plush nova]

OK, thank you. Yes, Run as admin (I do) - thank you.

[mystic finch]

did you mean to send that to me?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes, what version of gamma are you on?

[mystic finch]

says 612

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

[mystic finch]

thats my custom one

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah. Why are you in a vanilla gamma support channel?

[winged ether]

so is the rest of that area also similarly irradiated?

[mystic finch]

Just asking if I can spawn him back as a trader with the code or if he would be a dumb npc

[limpid fable]

i am doing the CS scout quest, and i can't seem to turn in the pda to spore

any solutions?

[shadow sapphire]

The answer is you'll need to spawn him with logic to prevent dumb. But you need to go to #🔨modded-gamma-support for anything else, because it's way to busy for me to sort through a 445+ line list and figure out what may interfere or what has been changed that would prevent you from spawning him

[shadow sapphire]

What time is it in game?

[limpid fable]

nighttime

so i should wait for his working hours?

0019h

[shadow sapphire]

I guess my question is you got the quest, how long from then til now

[limpid fable]

oh i didnt turn in right away

i think like 2 days

[shadow sapphire]

That's why

It's a timed quest

!scout

[raw raft]

Can't find the scout for the Last Dawn quest?: #╭📖faq message

[limpid fable]

i see so i have to get the pda AND turn it in right away

i didnt understand that from the faq

[shadow sapphire]

No worries. Yeah the whole quest is on a timer

[hoary cedar]

does anyone know which addon makes enemies wearing exos impossible to kill with a shotgun

its so difficult to get better gear when i cant kill anyone

[lyric steeple]

move to a different area?!

[hoary cedar]

yeah i would do that if i wasnt playing as isg on hard and survivalist

you must go to the dead city at first

[lyric steeple]

AH, good luck my dude

[hoary cedar]

and when there are enemies at the entrance to the dead city wearing exos i cant do crap

perhaps i just need to try a couple more times 🤷‍♂️

[lyric steeple]

AH, yeah that sucks.

can you pop into a different area first?

or try to enter dead city from a different zone?

[hoary cedar]

i can only go through yantar but without a psy helm we all know how itll end

[shadow sapphire]

Use ap slugs in your shotgun

[lyric steeple]

^

[hoary cedar]

ooooh

i did not think about that

[lyric steeple]

or granades?

[shadow sapphire]

Buck shot doesn't touch armor my guy

[lyric steeple]

slugs at the least, but AP is goign to be what you want to use for sure.

[hoary cedar]

alright thank you very much

[shadow sapphire]

In GAMMA you gotta use the right ammo for the target. Buck is for mutants or people without armor only

[hoary cedar]

okay, thanks once again

it was this easy huh

[buoyant stump]

gottem

[shadow sapphire]

Haha don't feel bad it's weird coming from vanilla to hey bullets make sense now

[hoary cedar]

Yup

I love this mod

All these new mechanics are awesome

[tulip nimbus]

how much gamma takes gb?

[hoary cedar]

About 60 i think

[shadow sapphire]

Extracted is around 36gb for gamma and 15 for anomaly

Is there a way to clear stacking hud elements?
(added mags redux to gamma vanilla)

[willow hawk]

MCM menu > Mags Redux > disable Ui

[flat cairn]

❤️

[versed tusk]

some rad spots are rng and i honestly cant tell as I have a Ranger mask and only laugh about rads since then

[lyric steeple]

using a leather armor and rebreather... that patch by the bridge in cordon is going to get me killed until i get a basic tools and can upgrade armor.

[frank robin]

I must ask the most important question of all: what kind of coffee does Grok like?

[brazen canyon]

So, I got 3000+ points on the leaderboard but I'm still Rookie, when do I become Trainee?

From my understanding in the Manual, Trainee is at 2000 points but you need 1000 above to really get the rank?

[shadow sapphire]

The rank system was adjusted, and I believe is still being adjusted. I would recommend providing feedback in #old-feedback-suggestions about how you feel the rank progression is

[brazen canyon]

It's fine being tweaked, I just wanted to know when I become a Trainee.

[magic rivet]

Can I somehow save my first character save file so it never disappears since I finished main questlines and want to do new game

[shadow sapphire]

Ah, honestly I'd have to check the code to see what it's at now, I'm not at pc right now but when I get to it I'll tell you if no one else answers by then.

[magic rivet]

Sorta like memento

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah go to appdata/save games in anomaly and copy all three files from the save you want to keep and move them somewhere

[magic rivet]

Cheers

Time for some rock licking questline

[timber pawn]

any idea about a software that lets me dedicate a cpu core to gamma?

[shadow sapphire]

Off the top of my head, honestly no. But you could try setting the affinity to only the last core on the cpu

[magic rivet]

what is mystery of the zone new quest btw? it is disabled

main questline stuff?

[shadow sapphire]

It's a remake of coc quest.

[timber pawn]

how do i do that in win 11

[willow hawk]

#╭📖faq

[timber pawn]

task manager doesnt seem to have it

[shadow sapphire]

It does its just annoyingly hidden. You can also follow this and use this task manager. I do and it's nicer that win11s.

[raw raft]

How to disable Core 0: #╭📖faq message

[near rose]

My unjam keybind is set to R. How do I change this?

[shadow sapphire]

!mags

[raw raft]

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

1. Enable Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) (the mod under "Optional")
2. Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key (yes it's a mod, no it isn't a keybind)
3. Enable Ammo Check (this is a mod as well)
4. While in game, check your keybinds for reload and unjam
   Bonus) You can also enable Mags Buyable at Traders if you want, it's a mod already inside your mod list

KEEP IN MIND that once you enable Mags Redux, you can't disable it in your current save file. The only safe way to do so, is by loading a save where you don't have the mod enabled or by starting a new game WITHOUT Mags Redux.

[north turret]

by changing the keybind to something else
if you are playing with Mags, make sure to disable this mod

[near rose]

thanks!

[near rose]

wait, so do I need mags redux? Or can I just use ammo check and disable unjam reload on same key?

[lyric steeple]

if you want to play with mags you i think you do

[near rose]

lazy to make a new save tbh

I don't want to play with mags

just need to get my unjam keybind onto another key

[lyric steeple]

if you are not playing with mags, when unjam and reload should work together without any issues.

[north turret]

if you do not want to play with mags, that could be fine, test it yourself
but as ThreehamKablaam said, you should have a combined keybind that does reload and unjam both, not sure if mag check interferes with that
just rebind your reload to R, unjam to something else, you'll be fine

[deft glen]

What key do you set the unjam to if it's not R?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes just disable it, it will be fine.

[near rose]

Perfect, thanks.

[deft glen]

Anyone have a preferred unjam key that isn't 'R'?

[lyric steeple]

im using mags, and switched unjam to z

but would love to hear what others were doing

[deft glen]

Thank you! The only problem is that the "remove patch" is bound to Z, and I haven't found a home yet for that one.

[lyric steeple]

i just ditched it.

because i can add/remove patch from inventory

[deft glen]

Good idea, I'll do the same. Did you disable it from MO2?

[north turret]

you can disable it via MCM

[lyric steeple]

yeah just cleared it

[north turret]

yeah I also don't ever use the hotkey for patches
since you got to be out of sight to use the disguise effectively anyway, and can't reuse the patch even with the mod, AFAIK

[finite sail]

Are andvanced/exper toolkits locked behind rank i have searched 7 stashes in jupiter and zaton or am i just that unlucky?

[shadow sapphire]

Ya know, I never checked to see if it changed that issue XD. Now I am curious

[lyric steeple]

!stash

[raw raft]

Stashes are empty by default; you will have to find or get coordinates to actually find something in them. These coordinates can be obtained as rewards by completing quests, by reading PDAs that you can find on the bodies of stalkers you kill, you can even threaten wounded stalkers to get them, before you kill them.
You can also buy them from traders, although the location is always random, so it could be anywhere.

Inside these stashes you can find toolkits.

In the south part of the Zone (everywhere UNDER Red Forest) is where you'll find Basic and Advanced.
In the north part of the Zone (INSIDE Red Forest and ONLY NORTH from there) is where you'll find Expert, along the other two.
You also have the gunsmithing toolkit, which is used to craft ammunition of all kinds and you also have the drug making kit, used to create drugs and medicines.

Depending on the location, north or south:
White stashes have a small chance of finding ANY toolkit inside, this means that you can find ONE basic/advanced/expert toolkit OR a gunsmithing toolkit OR a drug making toolkit.
Green stashes have a 100% chance of finding ONE toolkit from this specific pool: Basic, Gunsmithing or Drug Making kit. Advanced and Expert are random and depend on the area the stash spawned in.

[lyric steeple]

should have run that in bot-commands my bad.

[north turret]

same, should've tested before assuming it won't work and just yeeting it from my game

[deft glen]

Beat me to the bottom command

Bot*

[shadow sapphire]

I'll check it when I make it to pc and let you know

[river forge]

I tried checking the user.ltx in order to change the default difficulty settings and name, but couldn't find anything that seemed like the right option

Is there a guide for doing this in bot commands?

[shadow sapphire]

stand by and ill tell you where

[river forge]

Thank you, all I found was “default difficulty-veteran” or something along those lines

[shadow sapphire]

Difficulty Line 96: g_game_difficulty gd_veteran
Name: I guess you cant

[river forge]

So how would I set the default difficulty to hard-survivalist?

Or is that just not possible

[heavy haven]

Hard survivalist is ouch

smtn about the 1 hit power of player feels soo off everything is so bullet sponge

[shadow sapphire]

Huh?

[heavy haven]

like i started as a merc and a flesh took a whole mag of mp5 ammo XD

[versed tusk]

i mean, if you dont understand ballistics

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, they will with FMJ.

You need to use HP

And shoot weak spots

[versed tusk]

the game is LESS bullet spongey on hard btw - just use the right ammo for the job

[heavy haven]

but hp is like 2k per batch 😦

[versed tusk]

you... can craft it too?

[heavy haven]

also what traders sell the cheapest lmao

[versed tusk]

and 2k per stack is cheap... try buying some Lapua

[shadow sapphire]

Ill be honest, I dont know what that is named, youll have to research it. I just dont have time to look it up for you. Sorry man

[river forge]

All good bro thanks for helping regardless

[heavy haven]

i noticed that duty sells like 5.45 cheaper then loners no matter the supply levels in my last save

[versed tusk]

What you need Roach, set difficulty via ltx?

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, I dont know the name for hard/surv

I think its either master or legend, not sure

[heavy haven]

you know how you love fixing them crashes for me larkin ? XD

I did the fresh install and stuff and i just restarted my game after playing for couple of hours

[shadow sapphire]

If you are referring to Sidorivch and Loris, yes they are literally the most expensive traders in the game for anything.

[heavy haven]

Oh yeah i was referring to them

Hello. Is there a way to change your stalkers Rating/Rank with debug?

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and open version.txt

[shadow sapphire]

Probably, why?

[timber pawn]

said 200

[shadow sapphire]

IT SAID WHAT

[shadow sapphire]

When was the last time you updated gamma?!?!

Also which installer version?

[timber pawn]

this week, my first install

[shy snow]

I want to see if im doing something wrong and see if its triggers an event correctly

[shadow sapphire]

Send me that file, because if you installed this week, there is no way you are 412 versions behind

[shadow sapphire]

Is this for a mod your making, or is this for gamma?

[shy snow]

for Gamma, apparently theres a new military storyline and I need 1000 rating to trigger it

I didnt mod this in

[shadow sapphire]

hang, on let me look at the files, because what your saying doesnt seem right

[shadow sapphire]

Send me a screenshot of the gamma installer

[shy snow]

Specifically under this section

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I know the mod

[shadow sapphire]

Something happened in your install.

Run installer as admin, update gamma data, full gamma install
